. UNITE A ERNST'FILI, SR., OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA:

NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of LettersI'atent.

Patented Aug. 10;, 191 5.

Application filed July 28, 1914. Serial No. 853,774.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNST FILI, Sn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to bottles, and more particularly to non-refillable bottles, and has for an object to provide a bottle which cannot be conveniently refilled after the original contents have once been withdrawn therefrom.

The invention contemplates still further the provision of a bottle consisting of few and simple parts that can be readily assembled and which can .be cheaply manufactured.

Still further embodiments of the invention reside in a bottle which cannot be conveniently refilled and particularly in the case of sweating or the usual methods adapted for forcing fluids into the bottle when it is inverted will prove unavailing, thus preventing spurious refilling.

In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken through the bottle. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the valve containing member showing the sections slightly spaced apart; Fig. 3 is a view of the sections of the valve containing member shown in Fig. 2, showing the interior construction of the sections; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the baflle; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the valve; Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a cork disk for the valve; Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the locking member; and Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the washer.

Referring more particularly to the views, I provide a bottle 1 having a suitable neck 1 formed with a circular groove 6 on its inner face, the neck being adapted'to receive a hood 8 formed of a plurality of similar sections 8 each provided with a semi-circular groove 6, said sections when united and arranged in the neck adapted to have the grooves 6 and 6 register so that an annular locking ring or element 10 arranged in the groove 6 to secure the sections together, will have lugs 11 thereon spring into the groove 6- and lock the hood 8 in the neck.

The hood is formed with an opening 7 in its bottom and near its top is provided with opposed openings 2.

Loosely disposed within the hood is a valve 4: which consists of an inverted platelike element 4 in the under side of which is pressed a cork 5. The weight of the element 4, and which may be made of metal, is proportionate to the weight of the cork 5 so that the valve, when complete, will not float and at the same time be of a slightly buoyant nature, said valve, however, normally closing the opening 7 in the bottom of the hood. Loosely arranged in the hood and slidable longitudinally therein is a baffie indicated by the numeral 3 and which, on its periphery, is provided with a series of vertically formed bulges 3* providing passages 4 This baille is in superposed relation to the valve 4: as clearly shown in Fig. 1. and it will be seen that when the bottle is inverted the bafile 3 will slide forwardly in the hood, thus enabling the valve to unseat itself and move away from the opening 7 so that the contents of the bottle can flow through the opening 7, thence up to the passages 41* and out through the openings 2, the valve 4 being adapted to immediately reseat upon the bottom of the hood and close the opening 7 with the baffle resting upon the valve when the bottle is being returned to an upright position.

It will be noted that in arranging the hood within the bottle whereby the hood will be supported by the element 10, that the lower end of the hood is encircled by a suitable washer 12 and which, interposed between the wall of the hood and the wall of the neck, will form a joint through which the liquid can pass, thus furthering the securement of the hood within the neck.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that the device described is of a simple construction, consists of few parts and can be readily assembled to accomplish the desired result.

Having thus described my invention, I claim: 7

In a non-refillable bottle, the combination with a hood formed of a plurality of similar connectible sections, each having a semicircular groove registering with the groove in the neck, a locking element encircling the sections forming the hood and lying in their grooves, with portions extending into the groove of the neck to support the hood there in, said hood being formed With openings near its upper end and a central opening in its bottom, a Valve loosely disposed in said hood, and a baffle having a series of vertically disposed exterior passages, said bafiie being slidable Within the hood and in superposed relation to said valve.
